WINDOW sonnnn.

Application filed July 19,

window sash itself is provided with some means by which it cannot be raised the screen may be collapsed and simply moved outward from beneath the sash.

One important object of the present 1nvention is to so improve the constructionof such window screens that once they are inserted between the sides of the window frame and adjusted thereto they cannot be collapsed from the outside but can only be released for collapsing movement from the inside. Thus such screens may be prevented from'surreptitious removal;

A further objection to the use of such screens is that ordinary Windows are not provided with means for locking them in adljustably open position so that when such jscreens are used the window may still be raised and even if the screen is provided with means to prevent its collapse from the exterior of the building a person seeking unlawful entrance may raise the window, reach inside and release the means employed to prevent collapse. 1

A second important object of the present 5 invention is to provide in combination with a screen arranged so'that it cannot be collapsed from the exterior of means attachable to the screen and sash and preventing opening of the sash beyond that necessary merely to allow the screen proper room between the end of the window frame and the sash.

With the above and other objects in view as will be hereinafter apparent, the inven- {tion consists in general of certain novel de- 5 (tails of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and speclfioally claimed. In the accompanying drawings like charactors of reference indicate like parts in the several views, and: p

as applied to a 1 window whereof the frame sides are indicated at 10,' theupper end at 11 and the lower end or sill at 12. This window has its sides provided with the usual beads 13 j and between these beads slide the upper sash 14 and the lower sash 15, The screen has been here shown positioned beneath the lower sash 15 and consists of theusual pair of sections 16 and 17 telescopically connected so that they may be fitted to any width of i" window within the range oftheir telescoping movc1nent. To the side frame member of one of these sections are secured brackets 18 by means of which a U-shaped frame having horizontal legs 19-is carried on this section, here shown as the section 17. These legs 19 pass beneath brackets 20 secured to the top and bottom frame members of the other section 16 and the brackets 20 are provided with openings for the reception of latch pins 21 which also pass through one or the other of a series of 22 in the parts 19. By this means when the screen is inserted and spread. so that its sides engage between a pair of the beads 13 the pin 21 may be dropped through the collapsed openings and the screen cannot be for removal until these pins are withdrawn. It is intended that the brackets and pins shall be positioned on the inner side of the screen. Also on one of the horizontal frame spaced openings members of a screen section is fixed a vertical socket 23 wherein fits the lower end 24 of a bar 25 formed by bending a sheet of metal into a T-shaped tube or guide. The upper end of this bar 25 is provided with a laterally and book 26 which hoOks over the upper mem ber of the sash 15, the length of the bar 25 being substantially the height of the sash so that when the sash is closed down and the hook 26 engaging on top thereof the end 24 will enter the socket 23. Slidable in this bar 25 is an'extension bar 27 of T-shape in loo downwardly extending cross section and having its web projecting v also provided with a finger piece 30 for assisting in raising the same while the upper end is provided with av bracket 31 engagebreaking the glass of the window.

able beneath the top member of the upper sash 14. Thus with this bar in position the lower sash can neither be raised nor lowered because the hook prevents its being raised while the screen prevents its being lowered. Also the upper sash cannot be lowered because the bracket 31 prevents'this. Thus.

with this screen and the telescopic sash holding bar in position access cannot be had to the interior of the building without the destruction of the screen or cutting out or There has thus been provided a simple and eflicient device of the kind described and for the purposespecified. 1 I a v I It isobvious that minor changes may be made in theform and construction of the invention without departing from v the material spirit thereof. It is not, therefore, desired to confine the invention to the exact form herein shown and described, but it is desired to include all such as properly come within the scope claimed.- v i Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is:

1. In a structure ofthe character deengage over the end of thesash remote from r the screen, said screen having a socket to 7 receive the end of thehook, means on the other section of saidbar engaging the frame end remote from the screen, and a latch adapted to hook the bar sections releasably in adjusted position.
